Sounds like Arthur Smith to Falcons

Mediocre choice. The only thing that scares me as a Saints fan is he did revitalize the career of Tannehill. He’s stuck with Ryan at QB for a while so he’s working from a bad hand already.

I’m just glad it’s not Joe Brady

And this is where you contradict yourself and your first sentence. Smith turned Ryan fricking Tannehill into a top-10 QB the last 2 years. He was damaged goods when he came from Miami. He has always been my first choice. I have been hard on Blank, but it seems like he got this one right.

He's done a solid job with the Titans, but don't forget they've relied on play-action off of Derrick Henry and have some great weapons to throw to, as well as a very good offensive line.

Tannehill is surrounded by a cast that really helps him succeed.

It’s like Arthur Blank and Mike Smith had a baby

I agree with the mediocre hire part. But Ryan >> Tanneyhill by a lot.

Smith deserves a ton of credit for Henry's success too. In Henry's first three years, he ran for 490, 744, and 1,059 rushing yards. Then in his last two years under Smith, his production has exploded. The previous two Titans OCs had Henry splitting carries with other running backs for whatever reason. Smith was at least smart enough to realize what an underutilized weapon Henry was and that he needed to get as much touches as possible.

Is this more of an indictment on Arthur Smith or Adam Gase?

You just have to tune Saints fans out. The Falcons could hire Vince Lombardi and they would shite on it by saying he isn't bringing Paul Hornung and Jim Taylor with him.
